Our Coverage Area

Stairlift Service Across Franklin County

Franklin County, KY

We install across all of Franklin County: Central Frankfort Historic District (1890s row houses with 32-34" staircase widths — curved rails hug the stringer to preserve original newel posts), South Frankfort (Victorian and Federal stock, tight winders at upper landings), Bellepoint on the west bank (1930s river cottages, shorter straight runs), West Frankfort suburban ranches (1950s-60s splits with garage-entry stairs — outdoor-rated units common), East Side along the East Main-Versailles Road corridor (post-war subdivisions with standard 36" treads, fastest installs), and Holmes Street neighborhood (reinvestment-district homes, mix of straight and heavy-duty installs for larger occupants).

Verified Customer Reviews

Hear It From Your Frankfort Neighbors

Real stories from families across Franklin County — drag to scroll, or use the arrows and dots below. Every review came from a verified customer.

Our 1908 South Frankfort home has the original walnut staircase with a tight winder at the top — I was sure a stairlift would require tearing something out. Luis laser-measured the curve, showed us exactly where every bolt would land, and the finished install doesn't touch the newel post or the wall plaster. Mom uses it every day now and the neighbors can't even tell it's there until she rides up.

East Side ranch, fifteen straight steps, installed in one morning. Luis arrived at 8:15, was done by 11:30, and spent another 45 minutes walking Dad through the remotes and the manual crank. Quote matched the final invoice to the dollar. First stairlift in the family and we were genuinely surprised how professional the whole thing was.

We live on the Bellepoint side of the river and our basement stairs get damp in July and freeze in January. Luis spec'd the outdoor-rated unit with the sealed motor housing and mounted the battery up top away from any flood risk. Two winters in and it still runs like day one. Worth the extra few hundred for the IP55 version.

I'm 310 pounds and most stairlift salesmen either dodge the weight question or try to upsell me. Luis quoted the heavy-duty 600 lb unit straight-up, installed it in our Holmes Street house in one afternoon, and it's been flawless for eight months. Honest measurement, honest price, no games.

Central Frankfort Historic District — we were nervous about the Architectural Review Board. Luis filed the paperwork, explained that nothing external changes so it was essentially a rubber-stamp approval, and had the whole install done in four hours. The curved rail follows our 1890s staircase exactly. My father-in-law can now reach his upstairs bedroom again.

West Frankfort split-level with the awkward garage-to-kitchen flight. Luis installed an outdoor-rated straight rail because the stairwell is unheated. Six months of Kentucky weather — humid summer, ice storm in February — no rust, no hiccups. The remotes work from the car port so Mom can call the chair down before she comes in with groceries.

Common Questions

Everything Frankfort Homeowners Actually Ask

Straight answers about cost, installation, and funding — no sales fluff. Browse by topic or call us if you have a question that isn't here.

What does a straight stairlift cost in Frankfort, KY?

Straight rails in Frankfort start at $2,800 installed. A typical East Side ranch or West Frankfort split-level with a 13-15 step run comes in $3,200-$3,800. The price covers the rail, chair, battery backup, remote controls, and one-day installation. Franklin County sales tax (6%) is included in the quote we email you.

Why are curved stairlifts more expensive in Frankfort's historic districts?

Central Frankfort and South Frankfort row houses have winder turns and non-standard stringer angles from the 1890s-1920s. The rail is laser-measured and factory-built to your exact staircase — no two are the same. Budget $9,000-$14,500 depending on number of turns. Build time is 6-8 weeks from measurement.

Are there hidden fees on a Frankfort stairlift install?

No. Our quote includes the lift, delivery, installation labor, battery, remote controls, and the 5-year parts warranty. If your home is inside one of the three historic zoning districts (Special Capital, Central Business, Special Historic) and requires Architectural Review Board documentation, we handle the paperwork at no extra charge.

How much is ongoing maintenance in Frankfort?

Annual service runs $180-$240 and covers battery load test, rail alignment, and safety-sensor check. Frankfort's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters are tougher on hardware than dry climates, so we recommend the yearly visit. Battery replacement (every 4-6 years) is $220 installed.

How long does a straight stairlift take to install in Frankfort?

A straight rail is typically installed in 3-4 hours. We arrive between 8-9 AM, finish before noon, and do a 30-minute orientation with the rider and family. Curved rails take 5-7 hours because of the multi-piece assembly. You keep using your stairs normally the same evening.

Do I need a permit to install a stairlift in Frankfort?

Residential stairlifts do not require a building permit in Frankfort or Franklin County — they are classified as durable medical equipment, not structural modification. If your home is inside a historic zoning district (Special Capital, Central Business, Special Historic), we file an Architectural Review Board notice on your behalf; no external signage or facade change is involved.

Will a stairlift damage my historic Frankfort staircase?

No. The rail bolts directly into the treads (the horizontal steps), not the stringers, walls, or balusters. When the lift is eventually removed, we fill the small bolt holes with matching wood putty. Original newel posts, handrails, and plaster walls stay untouched — a key point for Central Frankfort Historic District owners.

Can you install a stairlift in a Bellepoint flood-zone home?

Yes, with the outdoor IP55 unit if the staircase is exposed to humidity or flood risk. For Bellepoint basement stairs in homes below the 100-year flood line, we mount the motor and battery on the upper-landing side so electronics stay above historical high-water marks.

Does Kentucky Medicaid cover a stairlift in Frankfort?

The Kentucky HCB (Home and Community Based) Waiver covers stairlifts under the Environmental Accessibility Adaptations (EAA) category. You must be enrolled in the waiver through the Department for Medicaid Services, have an active service plan, and get prior authorization through your case manager. We provide the technical quote and specifications they require.

How do Frankfort veterans use the VA HISA grant?

Service-connected veterans qualify for up to $6,800 through the HISA (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations) grant. Non-service-connected veterans qualify for $2,000. The grant is one-time, tax-free, and requires no repayment. Your nearest VA is the Lexington VA Medical Center — either the Franklin R. Sousley Campus at 2250 Leestown Road, Lexington, KY 40511 or the Troy Bowling Campus at 1101 Veterans Drive, Lexington, KY 40502.

Is a stairlift tax-deductible for Frankfort homeowners?

Yes, as a medical expense under IRS Publication 502 if prescribed by a physician for a specific medical condition (arthritis, post-surgery mobility, cardiovascular limitation). The portion that does not increase your home's market value is fully deductible. A Frankfort appraiser typically rates the home-value increase at 0-20% of install cost.

What financing is available for Frankfort installations?

Financing starts at $79/month for a standard straight-rail install, with 12- to 84-month terms. No origination fees and no prepayment penalty. Approvals typically complete within 10 minutes; we can run the paperwork at the home survey appointment.

A word from Luis

Frankfort homes are a split problem. Downtown and South Frankfort have original 1890-1920 staircases with narrow treads, shallow runs and stringers that were never built for a modern rail bolt pattern. Bellepoint and the East Side 1950s ranches sit on flood-zone lots where the garage-to-kitchen stair is the real accessibility barrier. I size each job to the specific house.
For the Capitol-area historic districts I install rails that bolt to the treads and leave the plaster walls untouched — Architectural Review Board paperwork is smoother when nothing external changes. For river-adjacent properties in Bellepoint or anything near Benson Creek, I spec the outdoor IP55 unit with a weather-sealed cover because the freeze-thaw cycle here will rust an indoor motor inside two winters. No salt-air here, but humid summers and single-digit Januaries punish cheap hardware.

Your Next Step

Ready to get started? It's simple.

Frankfort's housing stock splits between 1890s capital-era homes downtown and post-war tract housing on the East and West sides, and the right stairlift differs sharply between the two. We measure on-site before quoting and handle Architectural Review Board documentation for anything inside the historic zoning districts.
